ft is Btatedin a Vienna telegram that the Emperor Francis Joseph -was so mnoh affected by the bis brother, Maximilian, 4bM he never to sign another death warrant, Autocrats and kings never sensibly leel the penalties of beoaose they to be above all lav. But' -when one of their number is condemned and they begin to understand thai the penalties of the law may be too severe. Francis Joseph loved his brother Maximilian, but doubtless Che thirty Hungarian leaders who were executed by Francis Joseph- for participating in the uprising against Austria in 1649, doubtless had brothers who loved them with equal affection, and "who have mourned for the dead Hungarian patriots with as much fervency as Francis Joseph will mourn for his brother Max- imil'an. The law never seems so severe, and' the condemnation and execution so unjust, as when it touches those who are near to our hearts and akin of our blood. If there should be another rebellion in the dominions of Austria, and the leaders are captured, when the death warrants are brought to Francis Joseph to sign, perhaps he will stay his hand when he remembers thepoignant which was inflicted npon him, when he heard that President Jnarez had signed the death warrant of his brother.

Maximilian tried to overthrow the republic of Mexico, and the Hungarians tried to overturn the pow- of Austria in their country, and certainly Maximilian deserved his sentence as it may much as those Hungarian patriots, who rebelled in order to secure their ancient constitution. It is seventy years since a monarch-was condemned and executed by a people who he attempted to govern, for a 'violation of their laws. Hence we think that the execution of Maximilian will strike close, not only to the heart of Francis Joseph, but to that of every crowned head in the world. Copperhead The result in Tennessee is felt most by the copperhead journals of the north. They thought the rebels of Tennessee, aided by President Johnson, had strength enough to violate the tx- isting laws which cut them off from the exercise'of the elective franchise.

But Gov. Brownlow did enforce the law, and that prevented the rush of rebel voters to the ballot box, who tx pected to carry at least three of the congressional districts, In that they were sorely disappointed. The law was stronger than their inclination. Since the Milwaukee News has entered upon a crusade for the abolition of the Suuday laws, on the statute book of Wisconsin, and for the consequent desecration of the Christian Sabbath, it feels very sore over the election in Tennessee, and particularly that law and order should have been enforced on the election day. It holds up the example of Xentncky for imitation to the copperhead party of the north.

In that state forty thousand rebels were admitted to vole, while forty thousand loyal men are there excluded. Of course, all is lately in Kentucky, while everything is horrible in Tennessee. The mourning of the News is most touching. It sounds very much like its mourning for the Violation of the "rights of conscience" and the "liberty of worship" in this state, because its copperhead friends not permitted to keep open, on the Sabbath day, their beer saloons, their dance houses and their whisky shops. Here is a sample of its peculiar style of weeping: the state of Kentucky -P There past record, particularly about lhe: of President Lindoln's assassina-' tion, when the country with its the (enemies of the republic.

majority of the Now it appears that a military commission who convicted Mrs. Surratt, signed a recommendation to President Johnson for the reprieve of her sentence in consequence of her sex and age. The story has heretofore run that President Johnson never received that recommendation; that as it wasbeingbrought to the President by iliss Anna Snrratt, Preston King, of New her daughter, York, -was going out of the President's private room he took the paper from her hand, and instead of delivering that important document to the President, as she supposed it would be, he pocket- edthe same and suppressed its contents. The President, in ignorance of that paper, signed the death -warrant of Mrs. Snrratt.

Within a few days that document has been unearthed and published in the news-; papers, and A. Johnson has since de clared that he did not see or have cognizance of the same hefore the execution of -Mrs. Snrratt. At this stage of the developments another party comes upon the It is no less a person than Judge Advocate Holt, of Kentucky, who was known throughout the nation as a gentleman of high moral character, of unquestioned integrity, and of a veracity, to eay the least, far above thatwhioh was ever nosorded to President Johnson. Judge Pierrepont, of New York, on the Snr- ratt trial, in his speech before the court on the 6th makes the following important and conclusive averment on the authority of Jndge Advocate Holt: In view of the Preaidenfa denial that he by.

In conclusion, Mr.

Pierrepont said the Judge Advocate General was hfc authority lor making the statement This statement covers the whole ground and makes a direct issue of veracity between the President and Jndge Holt of Kentucky. It is well known that Johnson is willing to accept the Presidential nomination from the copperhead party. At the present time, he seems most likely to be the man. The Surratt spot is a bad one in their estimation, and Holt has made the spot still bigger and blacker, out A. J.

can cleanse it out by the removal of Stanton, Holt, Sheridan, Pope, Sohofield and Thomas. The copperheads stongly approve of his reconstruction policy, and they like his passion for whisky. That accords with their natural instincts, and as he does not tell the truth very often, he very much resembles their old and favored friend James Buchanan. He, with his Touoey's, his Floyd's, his Thompson's, his Cobb's in his cabinet, was one of the most efficient motors of the slave- holders war npon the nation, because a republican resident was elected.

The correspondencebetween Johnson and Stanton, proves that Secretary Stanton is determined to hold on to the war department, if possible, until the next meeting of Congress in November next. Ordinarily a cabinet minister should resign when so requested by the President, but Mr.

Stanton considers that President Johnson designs evil to the country, and that it ia his duty to stand in the path of the President and not allow him to use the vast power of the War Department against the laws of the land. Delicacy wouid teach Mr. Stanton to leave, and duty would constrain him to hold on. With a pliant Secretary in War Department like General Bonssean he could seriously embarrass the reconstruction act of the last congress.

But there are, many more at work successfully in other parts of the southern country, since the papers contain numerous complaints of such swindling.

That a conspiracy formed in time of war to take the life of the President and Vice President and the heads of the executive department, for the purpose of aiding the enemies of the Federal Government by throwing it into anarchy and confusion, is treason as henius and as hurtful to the people of this country as compassing the death of the King or Queen of Great Britian is to of that realm.
